-HAWKEYE 
CERTIFIED AND NON-CERTIFIED 
_This is a great bean for all areas having con- 
ditions similar to the northern half of Iowa and 
the southern portion of Minnesota. Even farther 
south in southern Iowa, farmers are using a lot 
of Hawkeyes because they want to get their bean 
crop off the land early. The Hawkeyes are 
much stronger stemmed than the Earliana and 
have a taller straw than the Richland. This va- 
riety has many three seeded pods instead of two 
as in most early beans. They have a very high 
oil content. The seed yields will run four to 
six bushels per acre more than the old early 
varieties. We strongly recommend these Hawk- 
eyes. For the areas described you will find 
them outstanding. See page 8 for prices. Soy- 
beans are not Gro-Coated. Item 184 and 185. 
- _LINCOLN 
CERTIFIED AND NON-CERTIFIED 
The Lincoln is a bean that is adapted to the 
southern one-half to one-third: of Iowa, and it 
can go on farther south into Missouri, Kansas, 
etc. It matures about like the old Illini and 
Dunfield, but it yields 20 to 30 per cent more. 
In Iowa tests on the northern, central and 
southern parts of Iowa, Lincoln has shown up 
exceptionally well, the Adams being about the 
only bean in its maturity class that is equal to it, 
perhaps slightly superior. In Indiana, the Lincolns 
average 10 and two-tenths bushel more than the Dun- 
field and Illini. In Ohio, a five year average test, also 
in Illinois and Nebraska, they average about 22 per cent 
More in yield, and in a combined test of Iowa, Illinois, 
Ohio, Indiana and Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan, and 
Virginia the Lincolns yielded 18 and six-tenths per 
cent more This bean oftentimes grows farther south 
because you like to have a bean that matures earlier, 
but can be planted later. Certified and Non-Certified.

REGULAR SUDAN ATLAS SORGO 
BLACK HAY 
BEANS 
Soybeans will make hay and-their feeding value is 
somewhat similar to that of Alfalfa, they run high in 
protein. There are some who like to use the ordinary 
varieties like Lincolns and Adams for hay. They have 
the advantage that they stand up erect. However, they 
are also heavier stemmed, This variety is fine stem- 
med and therefore makesa better quality of hay. They 
are smaller seeded, and the seed is black. You should 
use at least a bushel to the acre, you can use as much as a 
bushel and a half. Of course that means a heavier seeding 
than witb other Soybeans because the beans are smaller. 
However, you want a thicker stand because they are not as 
strong stemmed, therefore a thick stand will help to keep 
the crop erect. These beans are sometimes grown with 
Sudan grass and there are some who put them in corn at 
the tim: ot last cultivation. We would recommend a bushel 
and a quarter to a bushel and a half to the acre as really 
the best seeding to make. We have these beans in storage 
at St. Louis and can ship direct from there. Please refer

SUDAN GRASS. {; . | PIPER SUDAN 
. This variety of Sudan Grass is highly popular throughout our 
area.- It was developed in Wisconsin and many rate it a great favor- 
ite. Excellent results also have been obtained in Minnesota, Ne- 
‘braska,; New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and other states. It is 
quite a new variety, just been on the market in a commercial way 
| for a couple of years. We are very glad to be able to have some of 
*this Sudan Grass for you. It isa variety that resists foliage diseases 
|. better than common Sudan. It also stays green longer. The yields 
_ of forage and seed have been very heavy. This variety is lower in 
tits prussic acid content and seems generally better adapted to the 
cooler climates. It has strong seedling vigor, good recovery after 
grazing and is satisfactory to livestock from the standpoint of 
palatability. See Item 229 on Price List, page 8.

ADAMS 
CERTIFIED AND NON-CERTIFIED 
This is a great new bean, adapted to about the 
same area where the Lincoln is most commonly 
grown, in central and southern Iowa. In a good 
many tests it has shown superiority over the 
Lincoln, although not by a large measure. It 
averages about a bushel and a half better yield 
per acre, and one to two days earlier. They con- 
tain a little more oil, and are indeed a wonderful 
variety. The plants bear white blossoms, the 
pods are mostly three seeded. The. Adams, like 
the Lincolns, are being used farther south where 
early maturity or late planting is desired. We 
have beautiful quality seed for you. On all 
shipments, we guarantee safe arrival and satis- 
factory quality. See page 9 of this circular for 
prices on all Soybeans. Item No, 180 and 180C. 
BLACKHAWK 
CERTIFIED AND NON-CERTIFIED : 
This Blackhawk is the finest bean that we 
know of for areas like northern Iowa, southern 
Michigan, Minnesota and sections having similar 
climatic conditions. They have out yielded the 
Harbaro, Earlyana and will stand up better than 
either one of these. The maturity date is about 
the same. The main difference between Black- 
hawk and Hawkeye is the maturity. Blackhawks 
mature about a week earlier than the Hawkeye, 
and two weeks earlier than Lincoln. This bean 
rates extremely high in favor through the same 
areas above reported. Michigan reports it bears 
its pods high above the ground, is easy to com- 
bine, stands up well, and there is less cracking 
and splitting of the bean. Pods are two to three 
seeded. We especially recommend these as a 
main crop variety for northern Iowa and similar 
conditions. They are also being planted much 
farther south where farmers want to get the 
crop off the land early in time for wheat and 
want a real early maturing bean. Item 183, 183C.

Gro-Coated Sudan Much Superior 
sowed your Gro-Coated Sweet Sudan Grass and ran out 
and used some non Gro-Coated Sweet Sudan Grass. The 
spring was exceptionally wet but still it seemed that the 
Gro-Coated seed all germinated satisfactorily. On the poor 
ground the Gro-Coated Sweet Sudan had a higher survival 
than the non Gro-Coated seed. Throughout I noticed a 
higher germination and the faster growth of the Gro-Coated 
Sudan until it was six inches high and then also a faster 
regrowth. I am sure that I want Gro-Coated seed in the 
future.—Robert Guehler, Somonauk, IIl., Rt. 1. 
When you are needing a crop that will mature in a short sea- 
son, something that you may use for hay or for grain, you will 
find Millet to be a good selection. They are used when the floods 
require a crop that will mature within a short time. Some plant 
Millet after an early crop of potatoes and get two crops off the 
* ground in one season. Millets will make a good hay production it 
you plant the Golden. If you want them for hay, cut around the 
_ time that it is in bloom or shortly after. For seed the crop should 
be allowed to mature. The Prose millet is the larger seeded variety 
_of Millet and is grown principally for the grain. The seeds of 
Millets of different kinds including the Proso are very widely 
_used as Poultry feed. Ask us any special questions you may have 
on any of these crops. See page 9 of this circular for prices on the 
' different varieties. We have nice supplies of Millet and can take 
’ care of your order. Items No: 225 and 227 on Price List: 
Treatments Increase Yields 
Our Oat yields are greatly increased by using 
Ceresan treatment. It is common practice to treat 
corn. Your Gro-Coating is the first successful treat- 
ment for other seeds. It’s just what we have been 
looking for. Everyone sows many times the required 
amount with the hopes that a fraction of them will 
grow and live to a producing age.—Dean Schreiber,
